West Ishpeming, Michigan01/19/2018– The Negaunee Miners Girls High School Basketball team traveled to Westwood to take on the Patriots this Friday night. The Miners came into this game with a perfect 10-0 while the Patriots were 8-2. Brady Guilbault and Jesse Anderson brought you all of this intense game on Sunny FM and streamed LIVE at sunny.fm.

Negaunee won the tip-off but right away Westwood stole the ball to start off the ball game. Both teams were very passionate about this game and it showed by how jumpy they were with the amount of traveling fouls called. On top of the Miners not being able to make the baskets they were shooting, the Patriots were getting easy buckets down in the paint. Clara Johnson scored the first three points for Negaunee at the end of the first to make the score 8-3 with the Miners trailing the Patriots. Clara Johnson continued to score the first two points in the second quarter. Rebounding wasn’t very strong for Negaunee but thankfully, Natalie Bartle got into her usually game mode and started laying up the floaters. Ally Jacobson, Miner, tied the game at 12-12. At the end of the second quarter, Natalie Bartle had tied the score 16-16 to go into the half.
